Jac Archer dials in to talk protest, big white supremacy (murder), little white supremacies (the gutting of EWU’s gender and ethnic studies programs) and how you can’t just support black liberation when it makes you comfortable.
Oh, and Luke and Jac also talk Scandal (the show) and trade James Baldwin quotes like total badasses. This talk fired us up, and we wanted to get it out in time for Sunday’s protest so you could get fired up, too. Smash white supremacy, Rangers!
LITERAL NAZI ALERT: If you do attend the rally, be on the look out for this guy, a Neo-Nazi who has pledged to come to Spokane and “make history.” Be safe.
